Alex Pereira has done it again.
Fans, fighters, and media were left in awe at the light heavyweight champion’s latest performance against Khalil Rountree Jr. in the UFC 307 main event. Pereira and Rountree fought tooth-and-nail before Pereira put the bloodied challenger away with a brutal flurry of strikes in the fourth round of Saturday’s UFC 307 main event.
From the moment Pereira walked out to the octagon to their across-the-cage face-off to the bloody battle that ensued and the unforgettable finish, it was yet another epic moment authored by “Poatan.”
Unsurprisingly, social media was abuzz with reactions, including UFC star Conor McGregor who called for a dream fight that fans has left fans salivating: Pereira vs. heavyweight champion and light heavyweight GOAT Jon Jones.
“Poatan vs. Bones,” McGregor wrote on social media.
Others also reacted passionately to the show-closing performance, including Max Holloway, Renato Moicano, and Gilbert Burns, no strangers to thrilling fights themselves.

He worked through some adversity early, but once he made the reads, it was game over for Rountree Jr #UFC307
Alex may not be using black magic to win fights but it has to play a part in his opponents absolutely refusing to do MMA
